Profile:

Considering his pedigree and the start he had to his international career, Sanjay Manjrekar's final figures must be termed disappointing. For a batsman of his class, skill and technique, he certainly should have scored many more runs and lasted a longer time at the top. The cynics will say it was lack of confidence on his part while his fans will blame the selectors who just did not seem to know where to fit him in. Whatever the reasons, his early retirement, brought about by the fact that he was more out of than in the Indian was a tragedy for Indian cricket.

A series of tall scores from the blade of the teenage son of Vijay Manjrekar made him a young batsman to follow for more reasons than one. And when in only the second Test that he batted, he scored 108 against the fearsome pace quartet in the Caribbean in 1989, displaying a technique that seemed to match his late father's, Manjrekar seemed set to be the pivot of the Indian batting in the 90s. This feeling gained momentum in the series in Pakistan towards the end of the same year. He took classic batsmanship to new heights while scoring 569 runs in four Tests hitting a century and a double century. Through the early 90s he maintained both his form and his place in the side. By the mid 90s however batsmen like Pravin Amre and Vinod Kambli started to make a name for themselves and Manjrekar's place became shaky. In desperation he even offered himself as an opener. But even though it was not yet apparent, by now his days as an Indian batsmen were numbered and he played his last international game in the 1996-97 season. He was a Bombay stalwart for several years and had a highest score of 377. Manjrekar was also blessed with a lilting voice and he even had a hit single to his name. In top form with the bat, he certainly was on song. It is a pity that the selectors did not realize it.(Partab Ramchand)
